> For most Apache Commons Imaging applications, the easiest way to obtain a sub image from
a file is to simply use the Imaging class to load it as a BufferedImage and then use BufferedImage’s
getSubimage() method to extract the portion of the image you wish to use. The TIFF format
presents a special problem because it is very common to have huge images (100’s or even
1000’s of megapixel). Examples include Landsat satellite images, global-scale GeoTIFF images,
etc. In such cases, loading the entire image into memory is not practical because it would
require too much memory. For example, I am currently working with a 21600 by 10800 image
that requires more than 890 megabytes to store as a BufferedImage. That value is pushing
the limit of what I can configure Java to handle on my particular OS.
> I propose to implement features for TIFF files that would permit Commons Imaging to load
a partial image of a TIFF file using only the amount memory actually needed to hold the sub-image.
> These changes would not interfere with normal operations of TIFF files and would not
affect other image formats. If there were a need for similar features for other image formats,
they could be phased in through future changes.
> The specification for a sub-image would be through the use of the params argument in
the getBufferedImage call as follows:
> HashMap<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
> params.put(TiffConstants.PARAM_KEY_SUBIMAGE_X, new Integer( x ));
> params.put(TiffConstants.PARAM_KEY_SUBIMAGE_Y, new Integer( y ));
> params.put(TiffConstants.PARAM_KEY_SUBIMAGE_WIDTH, new Integer(width));
> params.put(TiffConstants.PARAM_KEY_SUBIMAGE_HEIGHT, new Integer(height));
